We know you're sick of tossing your bracket in the recycling bin after the first weekend every year. We're here to rid you of those busted brackets for good, because a March Madness revolution is upon us.

Sporting News is teaming up with Realtime Brackets to change the way we do March. We're giving fans an exciting new way to keep their brackets breathing from the First Four through the Final Four.

Realtime Brackets' advanced gaming system gives you the chance to change your bracket when you want, however many times you want and even during every live game in the tournament. Don't get too cocky about your "perfect bracket" just yet, though, because all those changes will cost you.

Each alteration comes with a point reduction depending on when the change was made, whether it was before the start of a new round, during the first TV timeout or midway through the second half. So, instead of agonizing over another Gonzaga letdown and face-palming your Friday away, you can either take a point hit and fix your pick in-game or dust off the loss afterward and choose a new team to champion the rest of the way.

If you're not quite a bracket addict or just don't want to spend the time watching every second of action, Realtime Brackets has games for the casual fan, too.

Traditional bracket play — the old-fashioned way to fill out a bracket — allows you to lock in your picks before the tournament begins and relax as the scores roll in. Meanwhile, intermediate gameplay — a mix of the old and new — gives you the chance to change your picks during the tournament, but only after each day of games or in-between rounds.

Every fan should experience the magic of March Madness from the opening tip in Dayton all the way to the final buzzer in Indianapolis, and now you can. So, this year, rather than giving up on your bracket and looking for the nearest trash bin, join the real-time revolution and keep your tourney hopes alive all the way to the title game.
